Transform Vintage Globe Into Pendant Light

Recently, transforming a vintage globe into voguish pendant lights, became the new trend among the DIY design ideas.

Expert and beginners DIYers all over the Internet are doing it to brighten up their offices, living spaces, and even dining rooms.

So if you happen to have an old globe in the attic that you’re thinking about tossing, then think twice! Firstly, because you will a timeless piece of craft that would bring undeniable uniqueness into your home.

And secondly, because you won’t need to spend a fortune (let’s not forget how expensive are all kinds of furniture).

• basic pendant light kit (you can find them at any home center in the lighting sections) or for a less permanent fixture requiring no electrician, use a plugin cord kit from IKEA.
• globe (I found mine in a charity shop close to my home)
• box cutter or exacto blade; sandpaper

A note from the author: As I truly believe in the concept of upcycling (also known as “creative reuse”) as an incredible way of giving your old, unwanted things new life, I hope you sincerely like the DIY project I just shared with you! Plain and simple, upcycling has a strong positive impact on the environment.

So let’s be more sustainable while creating beautiful pieces of decoration! 😉
